Oak Ridge Bicycle Center

Oak Ridge Fire Department Muscular Dystrophy Chairperson Duane Chase announced Thursday that the Oak Ridge Firefighters Association will conduct its annual MDA Boot Drive this Friday and Saturday, June 13 and 14, at the Secret City Festival at A.K. Bissell Park.

An MDA booth will be located at the fire department youth area and Zipline landing to make your contribution. Each contribution of $5 will enter the contributor in a drawing for a youth bicycle from Oak Ridge Bicycle Center on Jefferson Avenue.

At 11 a.m. on Saturday, MDA will have one of the local families at the youth area so their child can take a ride on the fire department Zipline. Feel free to join us to witness this child on what might be the ride of her life.

Please stop by and give thanks for the healthy children of our community by donating to those who are in need and help with their fight with muscular dystrophy and help find a cure for Jerry’s Kids.

For additional information contact Duane Chase at (865) 604-5158 or Fire Chief Darryl Kerley at (865) 755-5364.
